Grounded by a systemic infection, Lynne’s condition prompted organizers to cancel the BST Hyde Park festival with tickets to be refunded.

Overview

  • Jeff Lynne’s scheduled July 13 BST Hyde Park performance has been permanently canceled and will not be rescheduled due to a systemic infection.
  • Organizers called off the entire BST Hyde Park event, including supporting acts, and confirmed that all ticketholders will receive refunds.
  • ELO’s July 10 Manchester concert, where Lynne struggled through the set, now stands as the group’s de facto final live appearance.
